Herlings win double victory at Saint Jean d’Angely

Two races and two wins. This is a summary of Jeffrey Herlings’ stay at France where the rider managed to win both races at Saint Jean d’Angely, continuing to show round after round to be the dominant force in the MXGP world championship.

Antonio Cairoli gave the nickname with the conquest of the holeshot, being then chased by Tim Gajser, Paulin Gautier, Jeremy Seewer and Romain Febvre. Yet despite the less positive start, Herlings only needed five minutes to reach second place and start pushing his teammate.

The championship leader wasn’t going to take much longer after ascending to second place, ten minutes later and would overtake Cairoli. However, behind the leaders of the race, to register the overtaking of Febvre to Paulin, ascending to the fourth place, that would no longer leave.

Finishing the race, the dutchman got the double won, being ahead of Cairoli who crossed the finish line more than eight seconds after, and Gajser secured the podium more than forty seconds later.
